Yea .. just staying with the Korean Superbit deluxe set myself....

I too am just gonna' stick with the 3-disc set I have.

I already double-dipped once on this title. I had the R1 3-disc set and upgraded to the R3 Superbit Deluxe 4-disc set. No need to get the R1 Superbit since I already have the DTS track.

I'll be sticking with my R2 from Japan. Three discs and DTS is more than enough.

How does the R1 3-disc SE compare to the R3 3-disc SB? Do they have the same extras and the only difference is the addition of DTS on the R3 SB?

The R3 Superbit loses the commentaries, but it includes the CD soundtrack as the 4th disc.

Yes, that is usually the case.

I have been buying DVDs for almost 4 1/2 years and I only own around 200 or so. I am selective with what I buy (probably 1/3 are upgrades!). Also, I have an ISF'd 61" display and consider myself a bit of a videophile, so I like the +5-10% improvements (you'll never hear me say I am upgrading for extras).
I think so far, I am the only person in this thread that will pick this up.

I only paid $16.99 for the 3 disc, so I am sure someone on Ebay will buy it and it should cover the costs of the Superbit which I should be able to get for around $20.00 from DDD. Ebay makes buying an re-release much easier to live with, as well. I usually do pretty well selling the older versions on there.

Be careful. If you read that Korean Superbit fire sale thread from last month, there were several people reporting that the supplements to some of these R3 superbits were not playable on R1 players. I specifically remember someone mentioning that about the Spiderman R3 superbit disk.

i've asked this before & i wasn't able to get an answer...

how's the bit rate of the R3 Superbit DVDs when compared the R1 Superbit titles?

i know for a fact that the R4 Superbit titles have a lower bit rate & i'm not sure how this translates to the eyes & ears...

I wouldn't know the bit rate for BHD Korean Superbit. However, the disc made a significant difference in pq on my setup. Indeed, I think that the transfer is one of the best in DVDs. I would rank it up there with Matrix Revolution.

Hmm, this could almost be a triple dip. I have the original, the special edition, and the superbit is tempting. If the DTS just rocks (which I have a feeling it will) I might grab it but I will wait unitl I can get it for cheap.

We all knew it was coming...

Lame, content with 3-disc.

I also purchased the R3 Superbit delux from Korea and the dts is absolutely worth it. I'm sure the track will be the same as the R1 and if you go over and do a search in the International forum, you can read more reviews and also links to reviews concerning the dts. I've said before and I'll stand by it, that there is a "night and day" difference between the DD and the dts. The imaging on the dts is amazing and there is a more noticeable punch to the explosions.

We all knew a SB release was going to happen. If you want to dip again I suggest going the R3 route so you can keep your extras to watch when your bored. I'm sure you can sell the R1 delux on ebay for a good price.

In all honesty, I was a bit disappointed with the current 5.1 Region 1 track. Don't get me wrong -- it's good...very good --- but for a movie of this nature, I was expecting to be blown away..kind of like Saving Private Ryan or something similar. While I usually don't hear a difference between DD and DTS tracks, I will be curious to hear the DTS on the Region 1 Superbit.

from dvdfile:

Two discs? We should get some good ole' bit maximizing here.

2-discs?! They better remaster the video or re-encode it at a higher bitrate. From what it sounds like, the R3 SB has both DD and DTS on 1 disc and it already kicks ass.

2-disc movie only? DAMN IT!!!

i just got the R3 superbit deluxe... might have to triple dip on this one too... sigh
i'll wait till the review comes

Why would you want to? They already released a GREAT version with the Superbit movie all on one disc. Why would you want it split? It's not going to improve THAT much.

I still question whether it's going to be split on two discs. I want more confirmation. I like DVDFILE, but they do make mistakes.

A great deal of griping over an announcement. Let's wait until the reviews before getting our feathers all bunched up. Some people (Like me) appreciate extras, but prefer optimal audio and video. If this release offers it, I'll probably pick it up and simply rent the 3-disc version to view the extras.

One thing I have learned about myself from buying DVD's over the past 5 years- I don't tend to give extras more than one viewing. Not saying I don't like them, just hardly ever feel the need to see them again and again.

I don't know why they would split it over two discs. That would be very inconsistent as the Patriot has an even longer running time and is on one disc.

I'll wait for the 7th release --the super-HD-mega DTS version with 9 discs.

True, but maybe they have decided to take a different approach now. On any rate, hopefully we can get verification on it soon.
